its just the charge part messing you up right? I struggled with that too at first.

I'm newish to fighting games (playing them I mean since i watched and studied them for years), but his combos are actually pretty easy to pick up and is actually fairly straight forward. Its just constantly conditioning yourself to hold down-back and doing sonic booms when they block your combo string that can get messy for noncharge players.

I'm going from guile to fang so that should be fun, but guile is definitely the best charge character to start off with and learn.

I remember when I first picked up Chun going from Nash. It was the most painful process I've ever gone through playing any game. But it was well worth it after about three months of getting my ass kicked learning everything, as Chun just fits my playstyle better than Nash ever did. I only started seeing progress after I practiced her combos alot and started playing more players on my skill level, beating/going toe to to with them, and progressing.

Now, I hardly think about ever playing any other character. But I'm still really interested to learn another character or two just for matchups sake. I was thinking of learning a more aggressive character like Cammy to deal with more turtle-y characters like Sim and F.A.N.G, but the learning process for Cammy is just as awkward as it was for Chun, as I have to adjust my playstyle COMPLETELY and constantly remind myself the differences between the two characters, like Cammy's crossup being j.LK instead of j.MK or not being able to poke my opponent with long-ass normal's. I might continue with her if Urien proves to not be good enough to compete and cover my more uncomfortable matchup's. But I also want to main at least one DLC character, with my top picks being Ibuki and Urien, even if the former is a glass cannon with some gimmicky things to her.

Short and bittersweet answer lolKeep at it. Laura is my main and I struggled.... actually not that long. Anything you think you might be off at? Remember, her vskill (held or not) can be done off of almost every single normal.
